Sorry to bring this thread back up, but I had to thank you for this simple yet so accurate suggestion.

I had been cooking with the iron skillet like I have with every other pan, cooking on high or medium or whatever when the recipe called for it. But now, on a burner that goes from 1 to 9, all I do is treat 5 as high and I'm set every time! I haven't had a single instance of burnt food sticking to the pan, and I now thoroughly enjoy cooking with cast iron.

Again, thanks so much for the suggestion. Another win for the empeg board!
